  • Request for opinions on my simple schematic

    Can anyone point out hazards or potential expensive flaws in this system, I've given it a lot of thought. I know it may seem excessive or over the top in some regards, but is it safe? Are the fuses appropriately chosen and placed?
  • Day use only, dont need to store power in a battery

    Am converting a van for full time living, new to solar tech. I gather that the conventional approach is to get a total watt-hour expectation of my daily needs; then configure a battery bank based on this expectation. Panels, controller, and inverter come next. Would I be on the wrong path if I...
  • Electron flow or conventional

    I'm probably going to be a Battle Born customer soon, after I ask them what their positive and negative battery terminals actually mean ?. So I'm reading Will's book, Mobile Solar, and as I'm looking at the schematics I notice that all the fuses are gathered around positive terminals. My...
  • Enough solar power for BttlBrn 5024?

    For lifepo4 in general, Is charging at .5c optimal? is .2c fine if one doesnt mind the wait? I have 700 watts of solar mounted atop my van. Planning on buying one BB5024 and the victron 150/60. In theory I'll have the watt hours to charge the whole capacity of 1200wtthrs in short time, but...
  • Constant vibration to affect panel lifespan/ efficiency

    Couldnt find if this has already been discussed, but I'm about to mount some 350 watt panels on my van. Concerned that bowing up and down might cause central solar cells to fatigue on a nano level, or other related micro damage. I look at house arrays and they don't shake unless there's an...
